<p>Oddly enough, I did the survey just before checking my mail. Packet from the PDGA in.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thank you for renewing for 2011, here's your updated rulebook, id card and renewing member bagtag.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The odd thing is that I'm a first time member who signed up last October. I'd already gotten my 2010 card which expires this coming December, disc, 2010 rulebook, mini and the various magazines.</p>

<p>Heck there are Clubs out there that requires the $50 (PDGA annual fee) as a monthly fee.</p>
<p>As for paying less to play, we are lucky.</p>
<p>Majority of our fields are free. </p>
<p>What money is collected goes to prizes, charities etc.</p>

Kids, we need tons of kids to play this sport. They feed the numbers for the future, and their presence has a way of tempering the decisions that adults make.

<p>I took the survey a week ago. I was kind of disturbed by the possible responses to the question about sponsorship. The last two choices were 'Men's club' and 'Men's themed restaurants' . Although I would appreciate sponsorship in any form (except tobacco products), I believe these choices would only serve to further alienate women from our sport. I just got back from the Worlds, and although there were plenty of women playing, the movie and dinner both seemed like sausage fests.…</p>
<p>I took the survey a week ago. I was kind of disturbed by the possible responses to the question about sponsorship. The last two choices were 'Men's club' and 'Men's themed restaurants' . Although I would appreciate sponsorship in any form (except tobacco products), I believe these choices would only serve to further alienate women from our sport. I just got back from the Worlds, and although there were plenty of women playing, the movie and dinner both seemed like sausage fests. Overwhelmingly white sausage fests.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We're not going anywhere with this sport without more mass appeal than we have now. IMHO we need many more women and people of ALL colors playing this greatest of all sports.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now, would someone please help me down from this soapbox, I'm kinda old. And white. And male.</p>
